I really do need to know how to turn this thing on. I've turned it, pressed it. Are they all just broken?

one side is softer than the other. You have to push it pretty hard, but the first click is solid light, second click is flashing.

It turns on if you press the red part in the center. If you manage to get it on, then you will find out that there is also a flashing mode.

YOu just press it and it goes solid, press it again and it blinks and then press it again to turn off. I have one that works right all the time and the other I have to fiddle with the battery to get it to work.

In answer to your question: You have to make sure that you are on the right side of the red cover where the embossed circle is, then press in the center. When first new, it can be a challenge, but the switch does get easier when you get the hang of it. The switch is right under the red cover. You can remove this cover by lifting the red plastic and you will see the battery along with the switch. Hope this helps.

Just press it hard. Once, it will come on. Twice, it will blink. Mine works great.

It's weird! Turn it off, then there is a little thing that sticks out on the back - press that, then turn it back on and it should switch.

Did you turn the knob to on , if not do so . And if you have turn the knob both ways and still nothing then something is wrong. Remember turn knob all the way.

it sounds like to me you have a defective unit. On mine there is no special way to turn on the keys they should work when you push on them.

Also, I thought mine didn't work either. You have to hold down the big button to get it releasing power for an awkward amount of time.

Are the batteries charged? If yes, and still won't turn on then you need to get it fixed. Sorry.

Thanks everyone. However, I KNEW I where to press to turn it on. My problem was I charged it for 16 hours and when I pressed the button it did NOTHING. I messed around with it and then took the chance on charging it for about 12 more hours. I put it on the charger and smashed it in real hard and now I think it's working. Maybe I didn't have it fully in the charger. It seems weird that it just sits in there with no connection port. We'll see. I appreciate everyone taking the time to try and help. Happy Holidays.

I'm just making sure, but you turned it on right? I couldn't find the on button for a bit...

I would think that the keyboard is locked. I myself never got mine to turn on.

Unfortunately you have not provided enough info on your problem. In general, if it is a hardware problem, like it no longer turns on, it is not worth spending my on repairing these gadgets as it would be more money fixing them than buying a new one. If it is a configuration problem, then you can download user manual from the web or if you have backed up your unit, then reload your old configuration.

We just followed the instructions under "Settings" one by one (very slowly). Basically you will be pressing the UP and OK button for each selection after switching it to ON. Try again. It should work. Thank you.

The one I purchased was a gift for my mother but I did mess around with it to show her how to use it. Did you try the reset button?

On mine I slide the on/off button to the right then press the connect button. It turns on and then connects.

I forgot. I had bought it for my grandmother, and she had turned it on. Maybe there is a small button on it somewhere or a small hole, like it is with certain kinds of electronics. If there is the small hole, you probably can get a small piece of wooden object, stick it in there for a few seconds, and it should turn on. I hope that answers your question.
